About Me
- Roy Delgado
- Petersburg, WV, United States
- After graduating from Tucson High School in 1953 I attended the Billy Hon School of Cartooning in Los Angeles. I then joined the U.S. Marines for four years, and ended up in Washington, D.C.. After getting honourably discharged, I enrolled at the Corcoran School of Art where I studied figure drawing. In 1976 I founded and was CEO of a 34 man sign company specializing in Trade Show Decorations, Exhibits and Signage for the largest 100 Associations in the U.S. We later expanded and added an electrical sign division where we designed and manufactured electrical signs for many Fortune 500 companies. The company was sold in 2oo2. I now draw cartoons passionately full-time from my mountain-top home and studio in wild & wonderful West Virginia. My cartoons have appeared regularly in the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Harvard Business Review, Reader's Digest, etc. and recently Playboy magazine where Mr. Hefner just purchased 15 colour cartoons in May and June of 2007.

Nothing special to say, Roy -- just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your postings. Keep up the good work -- and keep after Mankoff!

Hi Eli,
Coming from a real pro like yourself, I appreciate your kind words, and I'm glad you enjoy my musings and a little B.S.thrown in . . . Man, I sometimes remember when you and I were in the twin towers a few years back
for the Wall Street Journal exhibit and book signing . . I think back and it's erie . .
Hi Roy...
No. The NYer doesn't really look at the cartoons. They look at the names on the envelopes. It's faster and helps avoid unnecessary papercuts to staff.
So, to help avoid any cartoon submission oversites on their part, I've decided to legally change my name to Charles Addams.
update...
The Chas. Adddams thing didn't work. All my cartoons are now being published by the dead letter office.
next update...
I've mailed myself in a big Christmas letter to Santa and addressed it to Bob Mankoff. I'm sitting here inside that very giant letter in the New Yorker office, behind Bob's desk. I think it's Tuesday because I can hear cartoonist's work being PERSONALLY rejected.
another update...
Can you believe it??? The Christmas letter to Mankoff idea didn't work. Turns out he's JEWISH! I did, however, steal a pad of 5 x 7 inch NYer rejection slips. I'll mail you a few, but I'm keeping the rest for myself so I can send them to Bob every week throughout 2009.
(Keep plugging Roy!...your pal and fellow cartoonist...Dan Reynolds)

Hey Dan,
Nice interesting observations, I'm sure they're all true ! Believe it or not ( This is true ), A person who works at the New Yorker,
( Can't reveal the name ) suggested to me, seriously to submit under a different name, tell them I'm a gay person from Africa ! ( Probably because in an interview Mankoff suggested he was looking for more differsity )
